PSG vs Aston Villa: Confirmed lineups for UEFA Super Cup 2026 final

Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa meet for the 2026 UEFA Super Cup, kicking off the European season before either side has played a domestic match. The clash goes ahead at the Stadion Salzburg in Austria, with kickoff set for 3:00 p.m. ET.

Both clubs earned their place in Salzburg as continental champions. PSG lifted the Champions League after beating Arsenal on penalties in the final, while Aston Villa claimed the Europa League with a 3-0 win over SC Freiburg.

Fitness will play a major role in how both managers set up. PSG entered the match with several key names — including Achraf Hakimi, Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola, Fabián Ruiz, Lucas Hernández and Warren Zaïre-Emery — all listed as doubtful, yet some of them will play either from the start or from the Bench.

Aston Villa, meanwhile, will be without Leon Bailey, Chrislain Manzambi and André Onana entirely, while Emiliano Martínez, Ezri Konsa, and Ollie Watkins are all ruled out, as they are resting after their World Cup campaigns.

PSG confirmed lineup

With so many first-choice options unavailable, Luis Enrique is expected to lean on a mix of squad depth and academy talent behind a settled backline.

The confirmed XI (4-3-3): Safonov; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Neves; Akliouche, Doue, Kvaratskhelia.

Aston Villa confirmed lineup

With Martínez out for the game, Marco Bizot will start between the posts, while Brian Madjo will take the attack in place of Watkins.

The projected XI (4-3-3): Bizot; Cash, Lindelof, Torres, Maatsen; Kamara, Gomes, Hemmings; Buendia, McGinn, and Madjo.
